It will be a muggy Monday under a mostly cloudy. The high temperature will climb to 81° this afternoon with a dew point in the sticky upper 60s.
The surface low that is currently in the Gulf of Mexico is pumping in lots of moisture into our area today.

Eclipse viewing looks poor tonight, although we may see a few breaks in the clouds.
We may see rain arrive after midnight, but models think it’ll break up upon arrival.
Check out the system coming our way from the south:

It’s been a soggy few days. Even though we’re not yet done with the rain, I feel a liiiiitle bit better about today.
Yesterday’s mid/upper level low (which created the rain) has moved north and washed out. Today there’s another system in the northern Gulf of Mexico coming our way:
Current Radar
It doesn’t look too bad to be outside.
It’ll be overcast all day, for sure. High only 73°.
Current conditions:
There will be at least a little rain, but it should be the light, even drizzly variety.

At the risk of making too many analogies, the upper level low is, as I write this, spinning in a Reverse Sherman — working its way from Atlanta to Chattanooga.
The NW quadrant of the low is producing Crazy Ivan showers, all in compliance with what the models said they’d do, which is refreshing. Showers will continue off and on, working from east to west, before probably reducing in coverage later tonight.

Check out the radar above, and the water vapor below. Behold the swirl to our southeast.
It’s going to rain a little this afternoon and tonight.
HRRR thinks the rain will arrive by mid/late afternoon.
Current Radar
Rain appears likely Friday. It won’t be steady, and it won’t be much.
There’s slight disagreement with the models about when it will start.
Let’s start with the early one, the NAM4, which has a “too-soon” bias. It says 6 AM.
Current Radar
By the evening hours, more and more cloud cover will begin to creep in from the east:
However, the possibility for some rain won’t arrive until tomorrow.
As an area of low pressure along the east coast scoots north and west tomorrow, it’ll continue to push cloud cover our way.

87° in fall is not unconscionable, but it is unacceptable. Still, it’s way better than winter, which is a horrible season and if you disagree we cannot be friends with me and Paul.

The Fall Equinox was at 3:22 AM this morning, which is when the sun shines directly over the equator. Equinox is latin for equal days and equal nights.
Even though we welcome the fall season, it isn’t necessarily going to feel like fall. We are still wedged in between the a trough and ridge. Humidity has increased today with dew points in the upper 50s this afternoon.
